I think I’ll make the Southern Belle hot cocoa, topped with vanilla ice cream, and use a candy cane stirrer.” She said to herself. Just as she finished cooking, the door opened and a red-cheeked Sally came in and took off her gloves, coat, hat, scarf, and boots. “What’s that wonderful smell?” Sally said with a smile. “I hope it’s what I think it is.” All three sat and sipped the hot cocoa while Sally told them about her adventures outside.Sally giggled and said, “And I thought I was bored.”

I don't want to compare Mix it Up to Press Here, but because it's the same type of book, by the same author, there are some parallels I will comment on. As the kids mixed colors, they’d save favorites they created on their free printable paint palette by painting in the circles. One of our favourite art activities is great forshowing what happens when you mix the primary colours. We covered a small canvas with strips of red, yellow and blue crepe paper (making sure that there were some overlaps). Then we squirted the paper with water and waited. The second picture shows how the paperlooked after half an hour, the third picture shows the paper after leaving it overnight. We removed the paper to see how the colourshad mixed (my daughter thinks that it looks like sunset over the sea). Sally was obviously bored. She moped around the apartment for a while, tried to find something to do, but there just wasn’t anything that interested her. She walked slowly to the window, pressed her nose against the cold glass, and watched the big snowflakes fall from the sky. She looked down and saw that they were already starting to cover the street and sidewalk. “Oh what a terrible day. I am so bored,” she said with a sigh.Anyone looking to demonstrate the power of a physical book or looking for books to open the imagination
